I am going to go with Lakers in 6 Odom is the biggest x-factor. If odom plays the way is has been in the jazz series, the lakers is gonna win easy. The suns really dont' have anyone who could match up with odom.
I think TNT usually hosts the western conference finals, where the TNT crew ( barkley, kenny, ernie) actually go to the game.
How can Phoenix win? I see only two advantages for them... Steve Nash over Fisher and bench play. Even then Lakers have Lamar Odom to rely on and other bodies to throw at Nash. Amare is gonna have a difficult time scoring in the interior with Bynum,Pau, and LO hounding him. Kobe is gonna lock down J-Rich. All in All it's looking like another finals trip for L.A.
How can anyone cheer for the Suns w/ Amar'e Stoudemire on that team? For some reason, I just can't cheer for the guy. Don't know if its the fact that he doesn't play defense, or that he just seems like a jackass out there or something else. Grant Hill on the other hand is an amazing story. But even his struggles and recovery can't make me cheer for the Suns w/ Stoudemire still on that team.
this. also how can anyone cheer for the lakers? yeah kobe has heart but i hate every one of them minus tru warier. hill n nash winning would be a great story.
He played good defense against the Spurs. I hope Amar'e goes somewhere else and gets a reality check. Life without Steve Nash
Suns in 6. The Fakers can't defend Stoudamire inside and Bynum's health is trash right now and there's no way that he can keep up with the Suns style of play. He may grab some rebounds, but he's not going to be able to effectively defend when they're running up and down the court. Hill isn't what he used to be for sure, but I think that with some help he can do some damage on the wings offensively and defensively. Richardson has been great recently, sure Bryant will post the better numbers, but that's not something that Nash shouldn't offset since he's the one running the show. Barbosa and Nash are going to own the Fakers point guards.
There is no way in hell Suns win more then 1 game in this series. This matchup is tailor made for a Laker sweep.
Well, I think the last two years, TNT has done the ECF. That's why I said ABC, but yeah I guess this year, they finally went back to WCF.

Hmm, Bynum not being able to keep up. I really hadn't considered that. They can still run Gasol/Odom and be bigger than the Suns though.
